Gunman leaps through McDonald’s drive-thru to chase female worker, Texas video shows

Video of a brazen robbery shows a gunman leaping through a McDonald’s drive-thru window, terrorizing employees inside, Texas police say.

It appears the robber was looking for a female worker and didn’t take any cash, video shows.

The suspects in a dark green Nissan Xterra drove up to the drive-thru window Monday night and pointed a gun at the woman taking orders at the fast-food restaurant in Houston, police say.

When she ran away, a gunman in the backseat of the SUV crawled through the window and chased after her with a gun. Another employee dropped to the floor as the robber ran through the store searching for the woman, police said.

Unable to find her hiding spot in the back of the restaurant, the gunman crawled back outside through the window, and the vehicle drove away.

Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest in the robbery.
